I'm making a point, so mentioning these characters for that reason...Killer imo always thought would fight SH swordsmans and be a good fight for him, he wasnt he was weaker than SH swordsman...Hawkins on the other hand seemed to be more even with SH swordsman, and the battle was still entertaining & interesting as it was left unsettled and there is still a threat and obstacle to overcome.
So I understand your opinion of it may not be entertaining. But I disagree, it will still be a close fight to where Sanji has to overcome his opponent. & it will be crazy for Sanjinto have to do it twice under more dire circumstsnces...
As It pertains to All Stars...Other combatants imo are just stronger and will be paired against the All stars. Sanji 1 vs 1 against All stars...Idk 330k bounty vs 1b bounty..just dont see it with his skills
Let me clarify, if Sanji fights Who's Who or Sasaki of the Tobi Roppo, I'd be fine with that. Because, as I mentioned earlier, they are implied to be on the level of the All Stars. Drake would also be fine, but I don't see their fight lasting long due to Drake's double agent status.
Sanji fighting Page One again, a character who he not only fought against, but held a signifcant advantage over while not even using his full repertoire, isn't going to offer any growth or any new perspective. He may have more moves, but from what we saw, it isn't going to do much against Sanji with a Raid Suit. So basically, I don't want that at all.
Zoro taking out Killer didn't do much for his growth. He was a capable opponent, and will probably continue to be one in the future, but that skirmish did nothing to bring Zoro to the next level. Same with Hawkins and even Apoo. They are peers who can give a good fight and obstacle, but will not necessarily push these characters to a higher level.
It wouldn't be crazy, especially if the opponent is significantly weaker than the next opponent. It's happened several time in the series already. From Kalifa to Jabra. From Absalom to Oars. Hell, we could even include this past chapter in the case of Luffy and Zoro.
Bounties are not the end all be all and can change to reflect someone's growth in power. Sanji having a 330k bounty doesn't mean he can't match up to a Billion Bounty All Star when the time comes. We've seen this time and time and time again in this series. Plus, unlike previous arcs, we will now have legitimate excuses as to why they can eventually take on these threats. Sanji has a Raid Suit which we haven't seen him use to it's upper limit. Nevermind any other potential Diable Jambe technique he hasn't popped out yet. It's the same argument for Zoro while we're at it. They have the tools, they just need to face a threat that will allow them achieve new levels of mastery with them.
That fact that normal character can be equal or above beasts with DF or Weapons is just insanely impressive in a manga like One Piece. I want Sanji to keep up his physicality. It's way more impressive that he is a top tier without a Weapon or DF
I'm still high key hoping his Raid Suit gets destroyed for a gag and he uses his explosive anger to win.
As a side, side note, I also believe that if Sanji and Zoro don't have a one on one fight with the All Stars, they will have a Three Way Dance with the All Stars and the Tobi Roppo. Which means that Sanji, Sasaki, and Queen will probably have a fight against each other and Zoro, Who's Who, and King will fight against each other. That way, they won't get completely dominated if they aren't strong enough to take on an All Star since they'll have someone taking a bit of the heat off of them.
